Maximal O 2 consumption and peak treadmill velocity (PTV) were measured by using a progressive test, and fatigue resistance [time to fatigue (TTF)] was measured by using a newly developed high-intensity running test: 5 min at 72, 80,   and 88% of individual PTV followed by 92% PTV to exhaustion. Skeletal muscle enzyme activities were determined in 12 runners and 12   sedentary control subjects. In a comparison of African and Caucasian runners, mean 10-km race time, maximal O 2 consumption, and PTV were similar. In African runners, TTF was 21% longer ( P

In a comparison of African and Caucasian runners, mean 10-km race time, maximal O 2 consumption, and PTV were similar. In African runners, TTF was 21% longer ( P  &lt; 0.01), plasma lactate accumulation after 5 min at 88% PTV was 38% lower ( P  &lt; 0.05), and citrate synthase activity was 50% higher (27.9   ± 7.5 vs. 18.6 ± 2.1 µmol · g wet wt 1 · min 1 , P  = 0.02). Africans accumulated lactate at a slower rate with increasing exercise intensity ( P  &lt; 0.05). Among the entire group of runners, a higher citrate synthase activity was associated with a longer TTF ( r  = 0.70,  P  &lt; 0.05), a lower plasma lactate accumulation ( r  =  0.73, P  = 0.01), and a lower respiratory exchange ratio ( r  =  0.63, P  &lt; 0.05).
